Saltwater Crocodiles (crocodylus porosus) are very common anywhere in the Cape York Peninsula and are known as man-eaters. Swimming is not advised anywhere other than hotel pools. Freshwater Crocodiles are also present but they are relatively small and harmless to humans, although they can inflict a deep, painful bite if harassed. The Box Jellyfish occurs in the waters of all of Northern Australia from October to May and can be extremely lethal.
